Shipping

We ship worldwide, including the US and UK. You should receive your kit within 3-5 working days, depending on your location.

Important things to consider before sending your hair sample:

We can only test the hair you send us.

If you would like an overall assessment of your hair, feel free to take your hair sample from your hairbrush or during a shower. Sampling from your hairbrush or shower is the easiest and quickest way to obtain your hair sample and is best if you would like a broad overview of your hair health, porosity and hair type. 

Or, you can send us a hair sample taken from a specific area of your scalp or the ends of your hair. This will allow an assessment of your hair from a particular location where you may have concerns.

For more detailed tips, please look at our taking hair samples page.

Note: there is no need to include your root.
